Adidas running shoes? should i buy a bigger size or should i break my shoes in more?

Question

im having trouble with my new running shoes.

i ran four miles today and now i have blisters on my small toe.

should i try running in them more of just exchange for new ones?

Answer 1

Check the stitching inside the shoe.  It could be rubbing your foot.  It could be the cause of the blisters.  Do you have enough length in the shoe?  Is there about a thumbnail of space in front of your big toe?  That would mean that the shoe fits for length.  This may just be a width fit problem.

Answer 2

Bring them back...they are too small in the forefoot area.  Your runners should fit snug but have at least 1cm.of toe room ( in the toe box area).  

Do another run (apply body glide - found in running stores) and see how it goes, if it still gives you problems, bring them back.  You shouldn't have to "break in" your runners.  They should be comfortable and chaf free from the start.  You may have to try other brands.  Running stores are trained to advise you the best fit for your foot type/gait/over-under pronation/etc.  

Just don't wait too long before returning them.
